Should I file I-130 for my daughter as a Greencard holder or should my US citizen husband petition?

[tcTTct 37]

I would like to file a I-130 to petition for my daughter to come to the USA. I am a greencard holder and my husband is a US citizen.

My husband and I got married before my daughter turned 18. My daughter will be turning 21 this coming August.

I won't be able to apply for citizenship until after my daughter turns 21, so I am trying to figure out which of these would be the fastest method:

1 - My husband (US citizen) petitions for my daughter as his stepdaughter since we got married before my daughter turned 18, and it could be filed before she turns 21.

2 - I petition for my daughter as a greencard holder before my daughter turns 21.

3 - I wait until after I become a US citizen later this year and petition for my daughter after my daughter turns 21.

Thank you for your advice.

Have your husband petition her as a step-child

Thanks for your reply. Complicated family matters out of our control prevented us from filing until now.

Update - My husband petitioned for my children on my behalf. Both children were approved, even though my daughter was 22 when the interview was scheduled. Both kids are here in the US.

 

Thank you for all your help.
